MSI Z97 Gaming 7 or ASUS Maximus VII Hero?

[LegacyStijncat]

Hello, and thanks for reading this already!

 

I just don't know which one of these to pick, the Gaming 7 or the Maximus VII Hero.

If you own one of these two, can you say the pros and cons? Looking at that, maybe an answer will appear for me!

 

Thanks in advance!

 

EDIT: I'm going big or going home, I'm willing to pay for a good motherboard!

Gaming 7.

I have one. The only con that I can think of, is not making me pancakes in the morning. Its a hero vii at a lower cost. Has all the same features

this guy above me may make me change my answer.....honestly either board will work just fine.

I would look into the ASUS Z97-PRO myself...seems to be that sweet spot between the two.  Sure, it might be a mainstream board, but...it's no slouch, either.

The gaming 7 is definately better for its cheaper price range, extra features and great overclocking. Asus isnt that bad since its one of the best motherboard companies. It provides a much more gaming features than the gaming 7.

I normally would, but I'm one of the people that are INCREDIBLY look sensitive, and it's a red and black build. Otherwise I would've considered it!

 

 

It provides a much more gaming features than the gaming 7.

That sounds quite good!

 

Also, I've edited this into the Original Post, price doesn't matter. Go big or go home! (This does not make me want to pump more money into my Mobo than GPU though).

ok i looked at some features on msi's website about this thing it looks awesome.

Well... then there's the Z97-PRO GAMER which seems to adhere to that red/black build...although I think that's more comparable to the MSI Gaming 5 than the MSI Gaming 7 in terms of features.

I would get the gaming 7 one. The board is really solid and has not cause me any issue so far. The only downside IMO is that the BIOS menu is not really that "clean" when compared to Asus. However, I can't really complain since I got it for $129.99 on Black Friday.

Well, now that Newegg's selling the Maximus VII Hero for under the $200 mark, I'd certainly give that some consideration.  I did, and boy, I was lucky to see that price tag, and that it was still in stock.  Don't think I'd regret that move.
